💡 Today’s Insight

Consumer Marketing Fatigue—Brands Need to Reconnect

Consumers are overwhelmed by relentless marketing—constant ads, generic messaging, and repeated outreach. According to The Financial Brand, customers experience fatigue and tune out unless brands recalibrate their approach to deliver clear value and emotional connection.

Key Takeaways

• Shift from volume to value: Scale back generic blasts and offer genuinely useful messaging—tools, transparency, or financial literacy.

• Focus on relevance: Tailor messaging by behavior, life stage, and individual needs—not just demographics.

• Respect the silence: Let customers rest. A well-timed break can do more for engagement than nonstop follow-ups.

• Adopt empathy-first messaging: Use messaging that addresses customer stress, concerns, and financial realities.

• Measure engagement signals: Track sentiment and satisfaction—not just clicks. If the metrics are flat, marketing might need a refresh.
